TVK MLA Kanimozhi Santhosh has reignited the CM Vijay vs Rahul Gandhi debate over the position of India’s next Prime Minister.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kanimozhi said that the PM contender in 2029 would be Thalapathy Vijay, adding that “a big and a shocking change in Indian politics will be seen in 2029”.
Kanimozhi was questioned about Congress saying that they would quit the alliance if this happened. Who goes in and who goes out. It was our Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, who made Thalapathy sit in the CM chair.
To this, the TVK MLA said that Rahul Gandhi would make Vijay the PM and that she would see ‘who goes in and who goes out in 2029’. “….you’ll see in 2029. So he will only hold Vijay’s hand and make him sit in the PM’s chair in 2029,” said Kanimozhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi took the first and second spots, respectively, on the list. “The TVK leaders are still operating in a fan-club mode. The issue gained further attention after a private media survey’s results also featured Vijay among the preferred candidates for the post of Prime Minister in 2029, ranked third.
State Congress president and MP B Manickam Tagore said the TVK were still operating in “fan-mode. So, you cannot silence people who are in the fan-club mode,” said State Congress president and MP B Manickam Tagore.
Tamil Nadu tourism minister S Rajesh Kumar stated that both Congress ministers will resign if TVK fails to back Gandhi in the 2029 general elections. Congress leaders from Tamil Nadu have threatened to resign from the state cabinet if Vijay’s TVK does not accept Rahul Gandhi as the next candidate for Prime Minister.
